Fig 1 Manhattan plot of the genome-wide association results for serum total IgE levels from the meta-analysis. The significance level used to promote SNPs for replication (P < 5.0 × 10−6) is denoted by the dashed line. The solid line shows the genome-wide significance level at a P value of less than 5.0 × 10−8.

Fig 2 Locus zoom plots of rs9469220 (triangles) located between HLA-DQB1 and HLA-DQA2 on chromosome 6 and its association with serum total IgE levels. The plots show the association P values (derived from the genome-wide meta-analysis) and the LD (with rs9469220) in color for the surrounding SNPs in European American subjects (A), African American subjects (B), and Latino subjects (C). The polymorphism near HLA-DQA2, rs2858331, as identified by Granada et al47 is also shown (squares).
